Thanks for the reminder that it is Drive-In season! I had forgotten all about it, and there is a theater within 25 miles of my house– Fork Union Drive-In. I think I’ll go this weekend– they are having a double feature of “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull” and “Iron Man”. Perfect Saturday night fare!

Ahhhhh Haar’s Drive In. Still a good date in Central PA. (Or for us single gals and their girlfriends)
There’s another one in Newville, just down I-81 as well, which is the better of the two drive-in theaters here.
Gotta love it. Wish there were more.

I live about an hour away from the Haar’s Drive-in in Dillsburg. My girlfriend & I occasionally make the trip from MD — we are both old enough to have great memories of drive-ins from our childhood. It would be great to see “Slapshot” at a drive-in for the 64th time!

Dan, Jr. — now that’s what I’m talking about. Nicely played.

Sadly, the Big M stopped showing movies a couple years ago, after 53 years of service. I think they still have car shows there, but not the steamy kind I’m sure.

When I was much, much younger, I took my girlfriend to the Big M Drive-In (Churchville – Harford County, MD) to see a Cheech and Chong double feature. We were suppossed to be watching “Up In Smoke”, but we couldn’t because the car windows were Up In Steam!
How’s that Pucks? By the way, I don’t think being a fellow Marylander makes you exempt. Did I mention she was double jointed? Or was it that she had some joints? Can’t quite remember. Oh well.

I’ve got spirited and co-ed commentors, but no . . . under the stars confessions from yesteryear. Let’s own up! I’m a Marylander, and with but two theaters in my entire state, I’m exempt.

I live in York PA. I once had the choice of two Drive in movie’s….one in Dilsburg and the other in Columbia both are 30 miutes away! But now only Dilsburg survives….I agree a great time for anyone whom has kids…and for those who want to swap spit under a start lit night!!
Thanks for bringing up great memories!

Drive-In movies are much cheaper, and FREE OUTDOOR MOVIES are nice too.

Here’s what I find amusing… I used to live in Oregon, less than half an hour from the last drive in out there. Now I live in PA, where the drive-in craze is, as you noted, a little ridiculous.
And I do love how you studiously, perhaps, neglected to note the giant screen the Pens put up outside Mellon for the Cup run, so that people could watch the feed from inside. But I’d not expect any less from you
